I saw a lady just the other day that made me think of Mrs. Cook. I loved her very much and enjoyed our relationship. She loved singing in the choir; I did too. I would stop by her house lots of times for an afternoon visit. She was a preacher's wife; I am a preacher's daughter. When we went out to eat together, she witnessed to the waitress. We visited her in the nursing home many times. She was a sweet friend I'll be glad to see again in heaven.

So many things to share about this joyful servant of Christ…who was an adventurous soul also. She was a terrific cook (pound cake was my favorite), gardner and encourager. She was a faithful member and servant in our church.

Mrs. Cook was so faithful to choir at Colonial Hills. I enjoyed singing with her for years. She never missed a service because she loved her church and God's people. When she and I went out to lunch, she witnessed to the waitress before we left. I visited her in her home many times when she couldn't come to church any more. Then when she was in the nursing home for many more years, she was a priority for us to visit. Her face would light up when we came through the door. Think how her face lit up at the door to heaven!!

Miss Edna loved her flowers.  This is a picture of her with an arrangement she did for a Bible conference at Colonial Hills Baptist Church in May 1998.  The flowers came from her garden.

Edna Cook was such a kind-hearted Christian who loved everybody and had a ready smile.  I remember she had lovingly hand-crafted the many flower arrangements that are still being used today to help make Colonial Hills Baptist Church in Lithia Springs GA special and beautiful.  She lived up to her name at Church Fellowships because she enjoyed cooking and she brought the most wonderful cakes and dishes.  I remember her making a huge meal and traveling all the way to Villa Rica GA to deliver it to my hubby, Lew, and me after I had cancer surgery in 2004.  What a blessing she was to so many people!  I know she has many rewards  in heaven.  She will greatly be missed by friends and family alike.   I look forward to when we will be reunited in heaven some day and enjoy our face-to-face time with our Lord Jesus.   Meanwhile, may God give her family peace that passes all understanding during this difficult time.     Love in Christ, Darlene DeWitt 

Edna was a very special friend of mine. I took this picture from her back porch several years ago.  I will never forget her kindness to me, her love for God and her love for people.  Her joyful heart, her spirit of contentment, her generosity, and her consistent walk with God were such an encouragment to me.  She shone brightly and made a big difference in her world. I will surely miss her, but rejoice that she is in heaven, and look forward to a sweet reunion one day. 
I am sincerely sorry for the family's loss and pray for God's peace and comfort. Edna was a treasure and she loved you all dearly.
